Amazon HD music and Raumfeld Connector 2.

Zig

Hi.  Can anyone advise.
I have a Raumfeld Connector 2 connected to a stereo amplifier using RCA leads.
I have taken the 90 day Amazon HD music trial.  I am streaming to the Connector from my phone.
My question is, "how do I know if the stream is UHD or HD."  There is no way that I can see where the Raumfeld App shows the sample rate.  Probably a stupid question but desperate to know what is actually getting to my speakers.
Thanks.

Not familiar with your setup .. but i have Amazon HD and it has the streaming quality in the app beside the song HD/UHD and the occasional blank.. if the app is embedded in your setup .. then kindly disregard this reply.

Thanks.  I can see the HD/UHD so I know if it's UHD but I don't know if thats what my amp is getting.

I have also connected the Connector 2 to my AV amp using an optical cable.  The AV amp shows the sample rate.  It shows 44.1khz when playing UHD.

Yes the 44.1 khz is UHD ..I Also have Deezer HIFI and there HIFI has 1'411kbps yet played through HI-RES enabled Speakers and streaming devices sound no better than Amazon Music HD if that good.

Ohhhh, I did not realise that the Amazon UHD is actually 44.1khz, I thought it would be higher?  I read that the UHD is up to 192khz.


I must admit I am confused, I also have Spotify and that streams at 44.1khz also.  So they are the same?

No the UHD can be 44.1 and also up to 192khz on devices that are  equipped to stream at the higher rate it gives the best possible quality dependent on the device ... as i use my desktop to fill my music library it's only capable of streaming at 44.1khz...once i stream to a device that can take 192khz it adjust's the quality.

Zig

Ok thanks for the info, much appreciated

You haven't said how you are streaming from the un-named phone to the Teufel.

Zig

Just to be clear...if it has the UHD symbol then it is 192khz and I am getting 44.1khz because of limitations in the way I am streaming?

I have streamed to my AVR 192khz using Qobuz (trial) in the past so I know that's possible.  

Thanks
